Fan casting annoys me to no end. Every single time I think of how perfect some of my favorite actors would be for some particular comic book characters, I realize that they're all DC characters and I remember my lack of hope in all DC films. Then I try to think of Marvel roles those actors would nail, but no character comes to mind.

Zachary Quinto is too obvious a choice for Namor, and could be considered typecasting, since he already plays a pointed eared character as Spock in Star Trek. I think The Rock would make a good Namor.

How about Jason David Frank {Power Rangers} as Iron Fist (Danny Rand)?

I wouldn't cast Quinto as Namor based on his pointy-eared appearance as Spock. It's not like these other situations where someone just finds the first bald actor available to play a bald character. I'd want him cast because of his role as Sylar. Even if he never played Spock, I'd think he'd be great for Namor. In fact, I think he looks more like Namor as Sylar than as Spock, and certainly has more of the arrogant personality showing there.

I keep hearing Duane "The Rock" Johnson getting fancast for Namor, and now I can't picture anyone else in that role.

The only bad thing about it is that Namor really, really needs to be hitting on Sue Storm. But I'd hate to see the character (and all his Atlantean accoutrements) wasted on a Josh Trank FF joint that seems like a stoner trainwreck waiting to happen.

He'd never do it but I reckon Casey Affleck would make a brilliant Namor.

If Marvel has the rights to Namor, I'd love to see him show up in Agent Carter in the 1950's, then have the same actor show up in a film or series. Kinda like pulling a Spock for the new and old Star Trek.

I have a question about GOTG. Is Nova going to be in there? I saw on IMDB that a woman was cast as Nova Prime. Is the "Nova" role something that is passed on to different people? I'm not too familiar with the mythology, I just remember him from New Warriors comics.
